I've logged hundreds of times on these chips. A lot of this stuff is rumor. Here is a scan session with the VAS 5051...

I've had the car flashed back to stock 3 times. No problems. Goes very smoothly. Did you have something different happen?

I know Garrett..and Jeff....and have a custom chipped A4 1.8T from them..it works very well...however, I still think the chips for normally aspirated cars are very little benefit. Help change my mind about this perception. Thanks.

Well, there aren't any benefits. Some will argue vehemently <to defend the $500 spent>.

...and in the end, it's just a pi$$ing contest, isn't it.

I gained ~10hp and 17 ft lbs at the wheel, and got a great deal on the flash before a lot of the regulars on this board even had their s4s, so that's why I did it.
I really enjoy the improved throttle response (not a DBW fix by any means), for it just makes the heavy car a bit quicker to get up and go when you step on it. Makes it, in essence, feel a bit lighter.
Also, what the hell would I have an S4TUNED license plate for if I weren't going to go all out? ;-)

For performance, let's talk sway bars. The improvement is for real.

Yeah....it flattens all the turns. Otherwise no, none whatsoever. Best bang for the $.
